Know Your Rights

Understanding your legal rights during an ICE encounter can protect you and your family. These apply regardless of immigration status.

Right to Remain Silent

You do not have to answer questions about where you were born, your immigration status, or how you entered the U.S. Say: "I am exercising my right to remain silent."

Right to Refuse Entry

ICE agents cannot enter your home without a judicial warrant signed by a judge. An ICE administrative warrant (Form I-200) does not authorize entry. Do not open the door.

Right to Record

You have the right to film or photograph ICE agents operating in public spaces. Do not interfere with their operations, but you may document from a safe distance.

Right to an Attorney

If detained, you have the right to speak with a lawyer. You can say: "I want to speak with my attorney." Do not sign anything you do not understand.

Right Against Unlawful Search

ICE agents cannot search you or your belongings without consent or a warrant. You can say: "I do not consent to a search."
